Docent Training

The next docent training class will be offered in January 2014. The 2014 class will be announced nearer to that date on the Friends of Edgewood home page.

Docents lead free, three-hour hikes on weekend mornings from mid-March through mid-June at Edgewood Park. We talk about wildflowers, plant communities and why Edgewood is special. During training classes you will learn about the history, topography, geology, plant communities, and wildflowers of Edgewood as well as how to lead a hike. Each class is followed by a hike in Edgewood on the following Saturday morning.

After training, you will be assigned an experienced docent for a “one-on-one” training experience and will also observe or help lead one or two Wildflower Walks during the spring.
